Ep. 1: Post Nugget Clarity

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 06:00:20 GMT

A first of many?

As the cliché goes, only time...

Like many of our ideas, this has been in the talks for a while. Finally, we present to you the first episode of the Tunado? podcast. We settled on the name three days after recording, that's why unaskia tukisema "haina jina."

We hope that you enjoy our debut podcast episode. We also hope to do this regularly.

We start by debating how chao mian is pronounced to introducing the podcast and its spontaneity, our kuku pono chronicles, era ya vitu za ngovo, school memories, activism and (not) voting, and influencer marketing. (Hi, future sponsor!)

Thanks for listening. Share this with your people, give us feedback, and all those nice things.
